ONDCP “Prove” Pot is Worse Than Ever Before

If there’s one thing those crazy libertarians at Reason get right, it’s the war on pot. Reason obliterates ONDCP’s latest attempt to scare old pot smokers into thinking that pot is not only bad, but way worse than ever before. Fun facts include:

  • Drug Czar Walters cites a level of THC in old pot that would make it impossible for anyone to have gotten high .in the 1970s
  • Drug Czar Walters creates a “scary” increase in THC levels by comparing the lowest outlier to the highest outlier.
  • Standard correlation versus causation propaganda

and of course the real kicker:

  • More people are in drug treatment today because of pot, therefore pot is is worse. We know more people are in drug treatment today because of pot, because part of our crackdown on pot, we compel arrestees to attend drug treatment programs.

Nice and circular, just like God and Richard Nixon intended.
